Importing XML files into Hyper-V on Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2012/06/25/importing-xml-files-into-hyper-v-on-windows-8-windows-server-2012.aspxThis week I am in Amsterdam, talking about Live Migration and Storage Migration in Windows Server 2012.&#160; I will also be talking about a more basic form of virtual machine mobility – import and export. In the past we have had a lot of problems arounden-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)re: Importing XML files into Hyper-V on Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2012/06/25/importing-xml-files-into-hyper-v-on-windows-8-windows-server-2012.aspx#10348327Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:33:52 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10348327andrewaggb<p>Thank goodness... &nbsp;I had a hyper-v 2008r2 server die with a raid array problem and it was a mess fixing it, ended up reactivating all my windows instances, renaming my linux network card names... disaster. &nbsp;And when I&#39;d realized after booting a couple the mess I&#39;d created I tried to figure out how to copy the relevant xml sections but I think the damage was done.</p>
<p>I had a similar problem due to another hardware failure, and stopped using hyper-v after that. &nbsp;I&#39;ve been using virtualbox for lightweight/dev stuff and vmware at work.</p>
<p>I&#39;m not happy with virtualbox at all, so I was considering trying windows 8 with client hyper-v or hyper-v server 2012, and this makes me much more comfortable. &nbsp;I much preferred hyper-v when my server was working :-)</p>

This was a major pain for us.</p>

<p>Loving the improvements. &nbsp;If I knew that I could take Server 2012 RC and put RTM on it when that&#39;s out I&#39;d update both of our physical boxes to 2012 now</p>
